4. Sampao Falls, Almeria

The Ulan-Ulan falls, Recoletos fall and Nomad falls are the main attractions of the Sampao barrio. These waterfalls are surrounded with lush vegetation not only that they have wide pools where we can take a dip and swim in the cool waters. You can also pass by the famous rice terraces of Iyusan and have an amazing view of the other half of the island on your way to Sampao.

Trivia: The Recoletos falls was named after the University of San Jose Recoletos in fact a statue of a monk (or St. Augustine) was put in there.

5. Tinago Falls, Caibiran

Tinago Falls is the most accessible waterfall in the entire island. A better choice for those waterfall lovers (but who are faint hearted) who wanted to enjoy listening to the sound of the raging water and to enjoy the cool streams. You can enjoy a picnic with your friends and family, as this place was developed by the government.

Trivia: The name “tinago” means hidden in English as this place is found in the interior of the island.
